Pokémon GO has entered an unusual partnership. Together with luxury brand Gucci and outdoor brand The North Face, a project is reportedly in the works.
This became known: On December 23, Gucci shared a picture on Twitter showcasing a flag with the Pokémon GO logo among other things.
The luxury brand wrote: ‘Coming soon to Pokémon GO. #TheNorthFacexGucci’
Speculations have already begun. What could be behind this partnership? We will show you the assumptions.
What could Pokémon GO expect from Gucci?
What players suspect: Speculations vary widely. A frequently shared image, which seems to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, shows a Pikachu in a Gucci outfit:
There are also numerous other suggestions for what a Pikachu in a Gucci outfit could look like. The idea comes from Niantic often putting a Pikachu in a special outfit to celebrate something. For example, in the current Christmas event you can find a Pikachu in a winter look.
What else could be behind it? Pokémon GO had a partnership with Verizon a few weeks ago. At that time, there were free avatar clothing for all players. Something similar might also be expected this time. Gucci and The North Face could promote their clothing in Pokémon GO through this.
The partnership between the two fashion giants is expected to bring tents, clothing, and backpacks in the style of the 1970s. Backpacks and clothing could thus also come to Pokémon GO.
So far, there are no further details about it. So it remains to be seen when more details about the partnership will be published.
What is known for sure is the Community Day in January. You can find all the information here:
